Subject: Create new NetFilter table
Date: Fri, 10 Jan 2014 21:25:47 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1171389381947@web15m.yandex.ru> (raw)
I propose to create a new NetFilter table dedicated to rules created programmatically (not by explicit admin's iptables command).
Otherwise an admin could be tempted to say `iptables -F security` which would probably break rules created for example by sandboxing software (which may follow same-origin policy to restrict one particular program to certain domain and port only). Note that in this case `iptables -F security` is a security risk (sandbox breaking)?
New table could be possibly be called:
- temp
- temporary
- auto
- automatic
- volatile
- daemon
- system
- sys
In iptables docs it should be said that this table should not be manipulated manually.
